NG Video Game Music Challenge II - Event Artwork

Share

Drew this in a single evening for the upcoming second Newgrounds Video Game Music Challenge, due to start this September! The artwork was requested of me by @Everratic.


I took to PowerPoint and sketched and outlined the whole thing, and then coloured it in Sketchbook. Drawing this thing was an absolute blast. Darnell is one of my favourite NG characters, and any excuse to draw him for the purposes of Audio Portal events is a good one.


So I had him with his headphones off for a bit, handling a controller, while around him is a piano roll with some notes (I based it off the piano roll in Logic Pro X, which colours the notes differently according to how loud or soft each one is). There are velocity bars below those notes, that are further indicators of how loud or soft a note is.


The original outlines:

If its Darnell its an automatic 5 stars for me

he's so cute here!! šŸ„°

you haven't unlocked the character and you're already showing off the character

Troisnyx responds:

What's there to unlock, my friend? He is on Pico Day artwork almost everywhere and even @Luis has featured him in animations.

This is super well made! Slightly different art style than normal I think.
